I'm really up in the air about this... I have read a number of articles (including the ones in this thread - thanks!) about GD and about the treatment being useless/essential if you have it and etc, and I've been given the option to have the test by my midwife at the Birth Centre on Monday, and I'm just not sure if I should go ahead... I mean, I've heard that being treated makes very little difference to fetal size and other factors are more influential (I am somewhat overweight - though not gaining since falling pregnant, and I'm having a boy) and I know that if I'm diagnosed and I'm put on insulin I'll be booted from the BC... So I'm inclined not to have the test, but then I've got a friend who has it currently with her second, and was induced with her first due to GD, and said it was a godsend because her daughter looked like if she'd been in any longer she'da been overdone, and the placenta had started to fail and etc etc... So I just don't know...

So is it scaremongering or am I risking my baby by not having it?? I'm keeping my weight down and trying to eat healthily for the most part... Is that enough??
